Image: showing roof with a dif. material which calls for more accuracy Process and choices in making a simple massing model Back to: Chimney mailto:nsaidi@nvcc.edu NVCC home page for Nazanin Saidi Project #2 for ARC 121, Architecture drafting I class Chimney Overhang Model base Orthographic drawings required Basic gluing method Basic cuting skills Home Materials and equipment recommended Definition of a massing model In a simple massing model, the roof can absorb some inaccuracy. But substantial inaccuracy will lead to a disaster. To overcome the inaccuracy, measure the distance between the walls and make up for the difference. Additional thickness due to the board thickness is workable in a simple model.
